Introduction of Artist: The garden depicted in Lee Sojung's artworks serves as both a repository for concealed stories and a protective barrier, encapsulating a mysterious realm. Functioning as a blend of natural and human-made elements, the forest within the art portrays a dichotomy—simultaneously offering both an eerie and secure ambiance while infusing a raw, botanical energy into the stark space. The garden's diverse iconography is rich in mythical themes and symbols, projecting the artist's inner fantasy through fortress-like structures, plants, olives, laurels, and pigeons.

Lee's artistic technique involves a striking juxtaposition of dark backgrounds, scratched with oil pastels to reveal vibrant colors. Moreover, the layering of colored paper creates depth and dimension, representing hope emerging from darkness.

Graduating with a major in Korean painting from Dong-A University's Department of Art, Lee further pursued a master's degree at Pusan National University's Department of Art. Since then, they have actively participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Busan. In 2020, Lee notably contributed to the artwork "Your Side," a notable publication in their repertoire
